Symptoms

LTM policies do not accept special characters in HTTP header names.

Impact

The system posts a validation error. For example, for the value $WSRA, the system posts the following message: 01071748:3: Policy '/Common/ft1_pool_select', rule 'notvar2'; invalid name, value '$WSRA'.

Conditions

This occurs when trying to use a '$' character in a header name.

Workaround

None.

Fix Information

You can now use the special characters ~!#$%^&*| in HTTP headers and cookie names.
